​Graphene on Your Grids

Our world-leading supports allow the cryo-EM community to focus on their results.

Key Features

High Compatibility

Hydrophobic Layer

Suitable for any Au grid, regardless of mesh size or spacing.

The coating is hydrophobic but can be treated with UV/Ozone or glow discharge to make it hydrophilic.

High Success Rate

Expect approximately 5% rejects due to processing and handling.

When applied to nickel-titanium (NiTi) grids, provides significant advantages for cryo-EM characterization and sample preparation. The combination of a high-quality, single-crystalline graphene film and the mechanical properties of NiTi creates a superior support structure for imaging. NiTi grids offer exceptional mechanical stability and resilience, helping to maintain grid integrity during sample preparation and imaging. The graphene coating, with its single-atom thickness, ensures minimal background noise, improving contrast and preserving the natural state of samples.

The use of graphene on NiTi grids effectively addresses common challenges in cryo-EM, such as uneven ice layers, dominant sample orientation, and sample movement, while enhancing imaging contrast and accommodating higher sample concentrations. This advanced configuration enables researchers to achieve clearer, high-resolution images and more reliable structural analysis, making graphene-coated NiTi grids an optimal choice for challenging cryo-EM applications.

The Advantages of Graphene-Coated Nickel-Titanium (ANTcryo) Grids

ANTcryo grids, especially when combined with graphene, offer more mechanical strength compared to traditional carbon grids. This helps maintain grid integrity during sample preparation and imaging.
